Stage Four - The second half of Year Two
Mid-Year LDJC and Post-Fellowship Conversation
The Mid Year LDJC Conversation is for you to step back and reflect on your growth towards your commitments to self, other and India. It will help you make connections between how you have evolved as a teacher- leader and your outcomes. This will also be an opportunity for you to start solidifying/concretizing the role you wish to play in the movement towards ed-equity post your Fellowship. You will leverage the reflection you have made in the last few months about your evolving Personal Theory of Change, explore the need of the ed landscape around and bring those two together to identify the pathways and domains you envision yourself working in. This conversation will be anchored in fostering that clarity and deciding next steps to build conviction in the same!

Preparing for a strong relay
In this last quarter of your journey in the Fellowship, you will start setting up your classroom for a seamless and strong transition. You will take this time to start documenting and consolidating your interventions, the impact they had (student data and portfolios), the classroom journey over the 2 years and all information that will enable and set the next Fellow up for success. This will include planning for learning and support through the summer break. You will also spend time closing the year out with different school, family and community stakeholders and aligning on the progress you have made towards the collective vision as well as areas that they need to continue to focus on. Setting up your year 1 Fellow, school team, students and parents up for success and continued/sustained growth (even in your absence) is what you will aim to achieve through this!

EOY Assessments
At the end of the year, your students will answer the National standardized assessment. Through this process, they will have the opportunity to showcase what they have learnt through the year and you will get to consolidate the impact you have had in the classroom based in the data. You will thus have the opportunity to gauge the effectiveness of your interventions (differentiation, unit plans, the summer learning packets, etc.) During this time, you will also spend time with each child and their parents to celebrate the holistic progress they have made and identify ways for them to strengthen the same. This will give both you and your students clear next steps to enhance their learning in the coming year, which you will consolidate in your transition document.

Opt in Tracks
There will be multiple learning and development opportunities for you in this stretch of your journey- opt-in spaces and experiences that you can leverage to explore and build specific knowledge, skills and orientations, aligned to your long-term aspirations. These will range from instructional proficiency topics like Project-Based Learning/ Understanding By Design/ Student Leadership to zoomed out leadership-based tracks like Adapative leadership/Servant leadership and so on. Your region might also offer relevant and contextual tracks for you based on the roadmap and prioritized pathways. Through these, we hope you are able to explore different areas of teaching and leadership and strengthen your competencies as you prepare to enter the Alumni movement!

Strengthening my Teaching Practices
You will continue to gain depth and mastery in the competencies you have built over the year and a half to deliver the strongest outcomes with your students in the classroom. This is the time when you will see the student-teacher partnership come alive strongly in your classroom- you will co-create learning with your students and they will lead themselves and their peers towards the goals they have set for the year! You will continue to engage with multiple resources, opportunities and experiences that will consistently push your vision of excellence of what transformational outcomes can look like. Here is where you find your style and identity as a teacher, where you leverage your teacher practices to empower every single child in your classroom.

Alumni Induction and Closing LDJC
And finally, you made it! The end of the Fellowship will bring with it a fair share of reflection, synthesis and closure- your final LDJC with your PM will be one such space. It will give you a chance to showcase your journey, measure and analyse your progress to goals, consolidate your theory of change and carve a way forward as an Alumni. The Alumni induction or your graduation ceremony will mark your official transition from the Fellowship into the Alumni movement. It will close the loop on the journey that began 2 years ago at Institute, help you go down memory lane and celebrate the powerful and challenging experience you have been a part of! As you step into the Alumni movement, this will be the final milestone to connect, like Fellows, with peers from your cohort, your city team and your school stakeholders.

Assessing the impact of my BTCP
An important milestone in this part will be closing out and measuring the impact of your Be The Change Project. You might do this through assessments, stakeholder feedback and interviews, impact analysis surveys and activities, etc. You will pause to evaluate the progress and shifts you were able to create, the strengths of the intervention and key learning from it. This will also give you an opportunity to consolidate what areas would need more focus and actions needed to sustain the efforts and impact beyond the duration you set out with. This will also be a chance for you to revisit and strengthen your evolving understanding of your theory of change, which you put to test through the project. This will help you build conviction and be prepared as you start applying for post-Fellowship roles!

Applying for post Fellowship roles
In the period between December and March, you will engage with the Internal and External Career Fair, in which you will apply for roles and organizations that you identified over the year, aligned to your theory of change and strengths. As preparation for the career fair, you will engage in conversations with your manager and the Alumni team, identify your top three pathways and roles aligned to it, work on your portfolio, resume and even practice your interview skills! The fair itself will be a chance to put your best foot forward and also engage with rigorous and exciting pre-work/selection modules for different roles you have applied for!

Strengthening Teaching Practice
The first few months of the 2nd year are all about gaining depth and mastery in the competencies you have built in Year 1 to deliver the strongest outcomes with your students in the classroom.
